Also known as the Blue Mbuna, these Cichlids are endemic to and widely distributed throughout Lake Malawi. These fish tend to inhabit the shallower waters of the lake, living along rocky shorelines and near islands where the water flows quickly and is rich in oxygen. Male Fuelleborn’s Cichclids are typically solid blue in coloration while females may have a marbled appearance. The fins in males of this species are usually orange and males may develop an orange tint over the entire body when they become excited. This species exists in several color morphs including the orange and orange blotch variants.
